the emberotic stem cells keep on making cells if any other cell is destroyed and the adult stem cell is what causes reproduction

1) Embryonic stem cells can be isolated and grown in a dish

the difference between a embryonic stem cell and an adult cell is that embryonic stem cells are able to become any cell need for the body, but an adult stem cell is limited to what it can become

An embryonic stem cell and an adult stem cell are pretty different. The adult cell has limitations to what it can become, while the embryonic does not.

An embryonic stem cell can be produced into any cell. The embryonic stem cell is nurished as it grows. The adult stem cell is limited.

can help grow back parts and cells and other stuff

the embryonic stem cell can become any kind of cell but the adult cell cant become anything it wants.

The potential research is to find a way to help cells that can't grow back. For example, if someone breaks there back or neck and you can't walk. Scientist are finding a way to put new cells in your back that would make you walk again.

some potential uses of stem cell research could be how ones body tries to create stem cells to heal cuts, mend broken bones, and create memories in the brain

an embryonic stem cell has the ability to develope a new human being and an adult stem cell helps with growth, maintence, and repair.

They can help cells in the body heal faster and they are working on regenorating other parts such as hearts livers and other types of body parts.

I learned that stem cells are part of why we are even alive and how they help us in many ways that most people didnt even know and how they are producing things to help these cells activate faster and other things.

Stem cells can help repair many things in our body like,hair,bone and damaged tissue.

The Embryonic stem cell can become anything and be produced into any cell. Stem cells could be the cause of tumors for cancer.

Scientists are using stem cells for regeneration.

An embryonic stem cell is not limited but an adult cell is limited.

1. Embryonic STEM cells are capable of becoming any type of cell, but exist in embryos. Adult, or somatic STEM cells are less capable but are present in adults.
2.They can possibly cure cancer, or be used for regeneration in general.
3.I read the article about reversing cell differentiation.

I found out that scientists have found ways to take out the stem cells of bones or other organs. Also that scientists have created a way to make an adult stem cell behave as a embryotic stem cell would for the use of stem cell therapy

Embryonic stem cells are not yet developed enough to have a specific purpose like the adult embryonic cells.

Embryonic cells can become any type of cell that is needed while adult stem cells are limited to what they can become

Destiny

I found out that before 2006, scientists thought that cell differentiation was permanent and irreversible. But in 2006 scientist claimed to have turned a differentiated cell back into a stem cell that could possibly become any type of cell in the body.

Jade Craig

I read that cancer is a stem cell that has an unstable growth.

The main difference is that Embryonic cells can turn into any other cell and the Adult stem cells can't do that.

Stem cell research can be used to help cure cancer and possibly even regenerate body parts.

Darren

that we have figuered how to regrow parts

Chase Ellison

2. Stem cell research can help us understand how stem cells work and how they could help our bodies.
3. I think stem cells are all around interesting.They are able to help our bodies in very many ways.

Erika Guerrero

1. An embryonic cell are able to become any cell. Somatic cells are in adults but do not change for they only help with growth, maintenance and repair.
2. STEM cells have the potential to repair damaged heart tissues.
3. I read about how physicians use bone marrow to help people who have leukemia.

Brendan Rife

I learned that stem cells can be used to help cure cancer and that they can also regenerate body parts on certain animals.

Jonathan Orozco

What I found interesting is that embryonic stem cells can turn into any other cell. While adult stem cells can't.

I learned that in 2013 for the first time scientist used therapeutic cloning for the first time to make ES cells. A donor nucleus came from a kid that had a rare genetic disease.

Stem cells can be non cancerous cells that can replace some tissue.

Sara

2. Stem cells can repair the heart tissuses when its damaged.
3. I learn that the bones goes to red blood cells.

Tuff Huizar

11/10/2015 09:48:07 am

3.vRed blood cells have to be replaced all the time.

Cesar A. Hernandez Gomez

I learned that stem cells can turn into hair.

ZAK ^.^

Red blood cells always have to be replaced and embryonic cells can become any other cell.
